Partner Websites

Growing Food Citizens would not have been so successful had we not gained the support of some great partner organisations.  From those who formed in response to our work, those that have expanded over the last three years to those that have an amazing challenge ahead of them to continue their fabulous work.

We could not have done it without you!

Grow To Give

Grow to Give is a community food initiative providing fresh, locally grown food to food banks and community fridges across Buckinghamshire. Food charities have faced a significant increase in demand for food since the Pandemic started.

We believe that everyone should have access to fresh food.

Local allotment and home growers sometimes end up with too much of a particular fruit or vegetable. By donating their surplus they can support local people at a very difficult time, reducing any food waste and volunteering in a healthy and safe way in their community.
